works on Firefox, Opera but not in IE ??

saumya · February 26, 2007

hi guys,

I have a form, which submits data to a DB and uploads a photo to the server.While the script works just nice in Firefox and Opera, it is not working in IE ?

With IE, the data gets into the DB but the photo does not upload.

Here is the link to the view page

The form is at below link

Thanking you

do u get any error in IE

magnetica · February 26, 2007

It works for me in both IE7 and FireFox.

But i think your problem is that your doing checks on the fields after you upload the file and insert to the database

magnetica · February 26, 2007

Oops, sorry i was uploading Gif images..

Can you send us a bit of relevant code in order to help us assess the problem

saumya · February 26, 2007

Thank you people, for your answers.But is it really works in IE?!!

Actaully the data gets into the DB but the problem is the image.It does not upload in IE !!

Here is the code I am using to upload the image

$upload_error=$_FILES['photo']['error'];
                switch($upload_error) {
                        case 0: //no error; possible file attack!
                                echo 'no error; possible file attack!';
                                break;
                        case 1: //uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini
                                echo 'uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini';
                                break;
                        case 2: //uploaded file exceeds the MAX_FILE_SIZE directive that was specified in the html form
                                echo 'uploaded file exceeds the MAX_FILE_SIZE ( 10 KB ) directive that was specified in the html form';
                                break;
                        case 3: //uploaded file was only partially uploaded
                                echo 'uploaded file was only partially uploaded';
                                break;
                        case 4: //no file was uploaded
                                //$error = $error . $upload_error . ": " . $upload_error_lang[$upload_error];
                                echo 'no file was uploaded';
                                break;
                        default: //a default error, just in case!  Smile
                                $error ="<br/><br/>". $error . $upload_error . ": " . $upload_error_gen_lang;
                                break;
                }

Thats the results filter but not the file handler. Is ther more that is used to determine where it may be having a fault.. I'm supprised for one that it works in Firefox and not IE.. Firefox is pretty strict about what it shows people compared to IE.

saumya · February 26, 2007

hi TRI0N,

thats the thing surprised me too. Even it works in Opera.

But not in IE.

TRI0N · February 26, 2007

Well for on Opera will show you almost anything aslong as you don't make it "Burp". But Fireforx will its pretty well sctipted down.. So show us some of the raw code that build the results if it is accepeted.

magnetica · February 26, 2007

I think you may have gathered this already but both browsers have no trouble actually showing the pictures.

As TR1ON says what we need to see is the actual code where you are uploading the picture..

Also where are you uploading the picture to? A directory or a Database

saumya · February 26, 2007

ok, here are my scripts.

The main page is

<?Php
//includes..................the necessary Scripts..............................
 include_once('php_includes/connectdb.php');
 include_once('php_includes/img_upload.php');
 //............END..............include.......................................................
echo<<<HERE

<body>
<form action="admin.php" name="add_item" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" >

</form>
<?Php
//checks for form submission
if(isset($_POST['item_name'])){
connectDbServer();
selectDB('universal');
//gets from the form submiited
$item_name =   $_POST['item_name'];
$item_detail =   $_POST['item_detail'];
$date_of_entry =   $_POST['date_of_entry'];
$query = "INSERT INTO `basic_cms` (`product_no`, `product_detail`, `date_of_entry`) VALUES ('$item_name', '$item_detail', '$date_of_entry');";

$filename=$lastItemID;
//upload the photo
uploadTheFile($filename);
}else{
echo 'Please fill the form to add new Product ';
}
?>
</body></html>

Now the upload image page is

	$target_path = $target_path . $filename.'.jpg'; 
		if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
			echo " The file ".  basename( $_FILES['photo']['name'])." has been <b>successfully uploaded</b>";
		} else{
			echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
		}
	}else{
		echo $_FILES['photo']['error'];
	}
}else{
	echo 'Please select <b>only jpeg files</b> to upload. ';
	$upload_error=$_FILES['photo']['error'];
	switch($upload_error) {
		case 0: //no error; possible file attack!

I could be wrong but it seems your checking the image type all wrong

Should be checking for a MIME type

if($uploadingfileIs=='jpeg')

try this

if($uploadingfileIs=='image/jpeg')

Let me know whether or not this works?

saumya · February 26, 2007

hi magnetica,

Thank you for the help.

But, that is not working.I have uploaded with your code. You can check for your self in the links.

magnetica · February 26, 2007

Is the code still the same because I dont think it's working in FF now either..

If so change it back, although using MIME types is the proper way to do it

saumya · February 26, 2007

hi magnetica,

The code is the same. You are right, now it stopped working in FireFox too . I will be changing it soon and updating to the previous version.

magnetica · February 26, 2007

Its a far-cry but try replacing:

$uploadingfileIs= basename( $_FILES['photo']['type']);
if($uploadingfileIs=='jpeg')

With:

if ($_FILES['photo']['type']== "image/jpeg" )

OR

if ($_FILES['photo']['type'] == "jpeg" )

This is how it works on my site

saumya · February 26, 2007

hi magnetica,

Thank you.I appreciate your patience.

But still its not working in IE.

magnetica · February 26, 2007

Can I ask why exactly it is you only want jpeg pictures because I just been playing round with mine and it would seem it doesn't like jpeg but I know for a fact the below works with both FF and IE

if ($_FILES["photo"]["type"] == "image/gif" )

Just depends on how much you want your pictures to be jpeg

Let us know

Also as you know:

if ($_FILES["photo"]["type"] == "jpeg" )

works in FF but not IE and

if ($_FILES["photo"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg" )

works in IE but not FF

saumya · February 26, 2007

I do not mind changing it to "gif" ?

But, there is no way, jpeg image will work in both FF and IE ?!!

i will try for gif now, if "jpeg" is the thing which is making all the problems.

magnetica · February 26, 2007

Well I tried it with "image/gif" and it worked fine in both... See how it goes

saumya · February 26, 2007

ohh maan, thank you sooooooo much !!

That worked great for me too .

Look at

http://www.subhvivaah.in/sam_simple_cms/index.php

last 2 images are gif and both worked in both the browsers. I can go ahead with my project in GIF.Thank you so much.

But the question is still there for JPEG. I would really like o dive into the complexions happening in JPEG .

magnetica · February 26, 2007

But Gif files are much smaller in filesize than Jpeg

The only other way to upload Jpeg with both is:

if ($_FILES["photo"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg" ){
//UPLOAD CODE FOR IE
}
elseif ($_FILES["photo"]["type"] == "jpeg" ){
//UPLOAD CODE FOR FF
}

saumya · February 26, 2007

hi magnetica ,

thank you so much. I appreciate your help and concern. I am completely agreed that gifs are smaller and stuff. But I was wondering how PHP is handling the files.

Well, for the solution to JPEGs, I also thought the same, to put a check for both. Lets see if we can make it any other way.

Cheers magnetica and thank you for your help.

magnetica · February 26, 2007

I did try this way of checking both but it threw an error at me saying too unexpected T_ELSE or something

Anyway I think this is because my upload script is quite complicated and probably put it in the wrong place..

Have you tried this?

redarrow · February 26, 2007

There nothink wrong with your code all you got to do is increse the max_file_size in the form ok.

set it to somethink like 30000000000000 then do a strlen check for size of file ok.

saumya · February 26, 2007

I have not tried yet buddy, but I agree with redarrow in this regard. The error is because of the Max file size. But i will try it in sometime.
